Atomos has added HDR support to its lower end products in firmware / OS update 5.2. HDR waveform and LUTS will make viewing uncorrected images from cameras easier if your camera doesn't or can't use a LUT for external monitoring. There were also a couple bug fixes as well noted in the release notes. Thanks Atomos for the update, thought we were stuck on 5.11 forever.
